The next General Election will mark a change in Huntingdon. For the first time in more than 20 years Huntingdon will have a new Member of Parliament.
With the election likely to take place this Autumn its hugely important that voters know what their candidates stand for. Promoting investment, preventing flooding, tackling crime, delivering our new hospital. These are just some of the priorities I will address as I stand to be your new Member of Parliament for Huntingdon.
Huntingdon is a town that is set to grow significantly over the next decade, bringing with it the opportunity to create thriving towns and vibrant villages across the constituency. But alongside that growth it is also vital that we maintain and upgrade our infrastructure to support it, ensuring our roads and public transport can cope with a larger population, that public transport links our towns with our villages and new developments; that everyone can access GP and dentistry services; that working people have good quality employment opportunities. With the right plan Huntingdon can become a real success story.
Many of you will have met me already, on the doorstep or out and about in the town, spoken to someone who's met me or seen me out walking the dog. I live in Huntingdon and know the issues we face here in the constituency, not only in Huntingdon but also across our villages and rural communities.
Over the past few months since my last leaflet I have been working hard meeting constituents, businesses, organisations and campaign groups, understanding which issues are most important and how I can best support people locally. You may recall that my previous leaflet asked local residents to let me know their priorities and where efforts should be focused. I have listened to those views and the issues raised are addressed here by my plan for Huntingdon.
